Finally finished this project , I got a bit carried away with a few things . I thought it might be fun to have some siege type weapons instead of just rolling the marbles so now we have a Boombastick and a Hephastus Hammer all imaginary . I also thought it could do with more colour so the grass , paving stones and shields over the doorways . My granddaughter stayed last weekend and she played for hours.



Well that's it other than to say I enjoyed doing the heraldry design work so much I'm going to try a painting a figure again , something I haven't done for a long time .

Very nice work Gordon, especially since it provided an extended period of interaction with your granddaughter.
I look forward to your next heraldic project.

Cheers,
Andrew

Great looking game. My long suffering better half suggested last week that perhaps we do something together, she asked if I had a figure she could try painting. Half an hour of rummaging in the stash of my laboratorium, we've decided to use a diorama I started about 15 years ago...

It's nice to do something together.

Hey Chippy excellent idea mate and good to see you keeping your hand in, great to get the Granddaughter involved as well. I bet she wasn't the only one getting hours of fun out of it
Cheers mate

Hi Andrew this is not the first project I have done for my granddaughter . I have built houses and painted a load of 48mm figures for an O gauge train set we have out at Christmas . She spends hours playing with this , infact I'm enjoying this area of modelling more than anything I have done before as someone else is getting enjoyment from it it's not just setting on a shelf
.

Great do it .

Hi mate believe me she has many ideas of what she wants and what granddad can do . I think the next thing is a farm in 48mm to go with her O gauge train set , although a lot of things are on hold at the moment as I have to clear my mums house out to get it on the market as she passed a way recently .
Thanks everyone for your interest

Excellent work! Wonderful way to enjoy time with your granddaughter. Who won?

My granddaughter of course , she makes up the rules as we play so I'll never win but this has been the situation with all the women in my life

Isn't that the true!
